About Puppy Training
CHOOSE YOUR PROGRAM
How the program works
We have three different programs for puppies, private training, group training, and our puppy board and train. These courses follow the same curriculum. Private training is done one on one in your home, group training takes place at our location in West Haven, and the board and train is where your pup will come stay with me. For in person lessons we will meet with you once a week for four weeks. Private training sessions are scheduled on a weekly basis based on individual training schedules between you and your trainer’s availability. Group classes are scheduled on Saturdays to accommodate for the majority of participants. Group classes are not regularly scheduled, we must have a minimum of 3 participants. Once 3 clients have signed up for the class we will schedule the program. Puppy board and train participants will stay with us for two week and then following their stay we will enroll you in our 4 week private training. For more questions regarding our puppy board and train please call.
what we do
Our focus during training
- Engagement
- Potty training, and crate training.
- Manners such as jumping, nipping, and chewing.
- Basic obedience commands like sit, down, recall.
- Proper socialization techniques for your puppy.
The best part about this program is you have the potential to get your money back! Any puppy that moves on to our advanced courses will receive 25% of the amount paid for their puppy training (excluding travel fee) to put towards the cost of their advanced training program. Puppy training, when combined with our nine week program, can get you four months of in-home, professional dog training.

If your dog is younger than 5 months your dog will go into our 2 week board and train program followed by our 4 week in home private puppy training program.
A puppy board and train is great but we know that most of our clients are not looking for the end result of puppy training programs. For this reason we strongly encourage you to consider investing into the advanced obedience programs we offer following puppy training.
Contact us and we will walk you through these options and see what’s best for you and your puppy
Due to the unpredictable nature of working with puppies there are no guarantees on the end results. However just like all of our programs we are confident that you will be 100% satisfied with the things you learn and implement during this program. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority and we are dedicated to helping you make the phase of raising a puppy as smooth as possible.
We will utilize many different tools during this puppy training program. Our primary tools though will be a slip leash, a kennel, and treats, lots of treats. Puppies need lots of positive reinforcement to build their confidence and encourage a healthy working relationship.
Any tool, if used the wrong way can be a bad tool. Treats can be very useful and effective but also have a tendency to be used incorrectly. We will teach you how to get the most out of age appropriate tools.
Absolutely! Everyone can get involved with your new dog. We would recommend an adult be present to supervise training sessions to ensure consistency between sessions. There are plenty of ways for everyone to get involved.
This will vary depending on you and your dog’s daily schedule. Due to the nature of puppies they require a lot of supervision but generally you should plan on setting aside 1-1.5 hours a day (6-8 ten minute session) for training your puppy to learn the things we are teaching
We do not offer payment plans for our puppy training programs. The full cost of the program is due when we meet for our first appointment or if you’re booking before you bring your puppy home the full amount will be due when we schedule our phone consultation.
Each week we will meet in the convenience of your home. This is a curriculum based program so the appointments will last as long as it takes us to answer your questions and teach you that week’s information so we are not rushing out of the door “when times up”. You should plan on the appointments lasting 1-1.5 hours. Our programs are designed with you in mind. You will be provided with one-on-one hands on training and specific assignments each week. We won’t leave until you are comfortable performing each week’s tasks. We know without you we can’t be successful, especially with puppies.
As we mentioned before we view puppy training as an investment in your future. If you choose to do our puppy program and move on to our advanced training programs we offer you a portion (25% of the original cost of the puppy program) back!!! That’s right you get your investment back to put towards the cost of our advanced programs.
We are very flexible for these in-home programs. We do appointments Monday-Friday. We usually have two morning appointments and two evening appointments to choose from. Weekly appointments are booked on a first come first serve basis. Once we book our appointment we will stick to that day/time for the remainder of the training program. If appointments need to be rebooked we kindly ask that you give us 24 hour notice so we can plan our day to day schedule.
